Great to meet you!

I'm a board-certified APRN in New Jersey, offering telehealth psychiatric care for adults navigating anxiety, depression, PTSD, and various other areas. I started my own practice because I believe quality mental health care should be accessible — especially for people who have historically been left out of the system. My approach is personal: I take time to understand your full situation, not just your symptoms. Whether you're dealing with persistent worry, low mood, or the weight of past trauma, I'm here to work with you toward something better. Insurance accepted.

My approach to therapy

I start by listening — really listening. My job is to understand not just your diagnosis, but your life, your goals, and what you actually need to feel better. I bring evidence-based psychiatric treatment together with genuine respect for your autonomy. We move at a pace that works for you.

What you can expect from me

Our first session is a real conversation, not a checklist. I'll ask about your history, your current challenges, and what you're hoping to get from treatment. You'll have plenty of space to ask questions too. By the end, we'll have a shared sense of where to start and a plan that genuinely fits your life.
